What is Gaska Gallop 5k run/walk?
This free marked trail run or walk will allow people in the Central Wisconsin area to get outside on a hidden gem trail system at Gaska Park in Rothschild, WI. You may participate as a family, with your pet, or in solitude.
We have a marked 5k (3 mile) route all on trails, with no road crossings. There are ample opportunities to shorten the route if needed. We encourage you to get more fresh air and come back to do the course again and again!
Some of you may be venturing to Gaska Park for the first time and it may be your first time on trails - welcome! We want to encourage all ability levels. If you’re worried about getting lost, the park is small and not far from a road in any direction, you can also download the GPX file. Note that the park is only 50 acres so there is a ton of zigzagging and backtracking to create a 5k course, so pay attention to trail markers!
Participants can do the course as many times as they wish and get a raffle entry for each time they participate! Make sure you bring your phone to take a selfie along the course.
We ask that you register for the event so we can track the community impact, even if you walk. You may register onsite. Anyone that registers and submits a result and picture will be eligible for prizes!
Invite your friends for an outing and encourage them to join in and share our Facebook event. Or make it a family adventure. Or just a fun walk for Fido.
Note: This is NOT an official race and no entry fee. This event is totally at your own risk. Be safe, make good choices, follow all applicable directives regarding public lands and CDC recommendations, and make sure you have gear suitable for your local environment.
